This Wired article on how people deal with the death of virtual communities, Not With a Bang but a Whimper is sociologically interesting in its own right but this statement:
“It’s really heart-wrenching. How will you connect with those people you spent every single day with? It’s as though someone suddenly took away all e-mail,” as one player who calls herself “Ellen Ripley” online told me.
really caught me: no more email? And by extension no more IM?
I would lose track of about 80% of the people I communicate with on a daily basis. Strange to think….
